16.02.2008

In her 2008 debut, Yelena Isinbayeva raised her own World record indoors to 4.95m* today at the Pole Vault Stars meeting in Donetsk, Ukraine.
The 25-year-old Russian added two centimetres to the previous indoor mark she set one year ago at this same competition.

This was the third consecutive year in which Isinbayeva, who has leaped 5.02 outdoors, broke the indoor mark in Donetsk.

Russian Yuliya Golubchikova finished second with a 4.72 clearance, with Monica Pyrek of Poland third (4.67).

Look for a complete report later from our correspondent in Donetsk.
